About Caidee

Making Medicaid Simple

Caidee was built to help Tennesseans figure out whether they might qualify for TennCare (Tennessee's Medicaid program) and guide them through the application process.

Navigating government health coverage programs can be confusing and overwhelming. Caidee cuts through the jargon and gives you clear, honest answers in plain language.

What Caidee Does

• Eligibility Screening: Answer a few questions and get an estimate of whether you might qualify for TennCare, CoverKids, Medicare Savings Programs, or nursing home Medicaid.
• Application Guidance: Step-by-step instructions for applying online, by phone, by mail, or in person.
• Document Checklists: Know exactly what paperwork you need before you apply.
• Nursing Home Guide: Detailed information about nursing home Medicaid, including asset rules, spousal protections, and the look-back period.
• Honest Answers: Tennessee has not expanded Medicaid. If you likely don't qualify, we tell you — and we point you to other options that might help.

What Caidee Does Not Do

• Caidee does not make official eligibility determinations. Only TennCare can do that.
• Caidee does not submit applications on your behalf.
• Caidee does not store your personal information.
